Hello @Joanne811 and welcome to the community. It sounds like you and your family are having a really difficult time at the moment. Do you have much support around you, either from friends and family or from your local authority or GP?

As well as the link @Kimi87 has shared above, we have a number of different resources on our website page: Free food and food banks and I've copied a couple of ideas below for you.

Free and cheap food with no referral

There are independent food banks and other places you can use without a referral.

Soup kitchens serve ready to eat food without a referral.

Search for what is available locally from:

Some of these have no rules about who can access them. For others, you might need to:

bring something to prove who you are or where you live, like a utility bill
pay some money

Contact them to find out. You could also read these free guides:

Vouchers and local food pantries

Ask your local authority about:

their crisis fund and emergency supermarket vouchers
food partnerships, who can tell you what's available in your area
emergency payments that you do not have to pay back
local food pantries, community fridges and ‘social supermarkets’

Find your local authority (GOV.UK)

Local welfare assistance finder (End Furniture Poverty)

Food parcels and delivery

If you need to use a food bank but cannot travel, ask if they can deliver food parcels.

The Royal Voluntary Service has a transport service.
